UPDATE: See link below this article for updated analysis. *** When Governor Newsom approved AB 1292 on July 12, he made estate planning easier for California gun owners.

Someone pulls out and activates a chainsaw on BART while verbalizing a threat of massacre, and you respond by posting a video on Twitter? and BART finds out about it because of your hashtag #BART, apparently because no one else called 911 either? #SMH! “I...FBI report left out HALF of 2014-17 cases where armed citizen stopped active shooter
HALF!? This is far too great an omission to be accidental. This false report has been used to minimize the importance of carry (including at an “active shooter” class i took, given by an anti-CCW former cop). The utility of concealed carry is much higher...Notes from Handgun Combat Master Prep
Here are a few notes from my first experience with Handgun Combat Master Prep (HCMP) in a 9/26-27 private training at Front Sight, having recently qualified to take it. (They require that you first take Advanced Tactical Handgun (ATH), and to take ATH you must...Chicago rag: “One brave rescue of a Cicero cop doesn’t justify concealed guns”
Amazing. After decades of advocating gun control “if it saves one life” while ignoring millions of defensive gun uses, the leftist media actually inks a headline braying that one cop — saved by an armed citizen who joined the fray —...Video: Front Sight Mid-Year 2018 Construction Progress Update

They bring up some very good points in favor of 9mm, but with our CA roster I was limited to .45 if I wanted a quality all-steel Wilson Combat CQB Compact. Suppressor bans are not the only form of gun control causing injury over time. (Have to say, though, that...AR-15 Saves Girl Chased Up Tree by Alligator
Girl could barely hold on to tree, she was up so long (half hour before 911 called). Why didn’t the mother have her own AR, or a pistol?

From NRA-ILA: With 42 states and the District of Columbia now recognizing the Right-to-Carry, California’s retrograde may-issue Carry Concealed Weapon licensing regime is atypical. However, a recent state audit of three of California’s CCW license issuing...A modest proposal re estate tax: Get self-defense training!

I would hope most people by now know that the Texas church massacre was stopped by a good guy with a gun, Stephen Willeford, and that the gun he used to stop the attack was the oft-maligned AR-15. Some on the Left are so crazy they actually say Willeford should...Armed Citizen ‘Engaged’ Atheist Texas Church Killer, Ending Rampage
UPDATE: The Texas church shooter (who BTW preached atheism) was dishonorably discharged, had a history of domestic violence, so would seem to have been prohibited from possessing firearms. Bottom line, he criminally broke existing gun laws even before he murdered....Enfilade from Mandalay Volleys Right Over Thin Blue Line
A few brief comments on the horrific attack in Vegas — brief because so early in a shooting like this, there is a lot of false reporting. For example, it was initially reported that Vegas police broke through Paddock’s door just ten minutes into the...Handgun? Pepper Spray? Both?
Seems like everyone these days is hawking self-defense products, and not all of these salesmen are friendly toward gun rights. The sad reality is that many of these purveyors of pepper spray are pacifist-aggressive, anti-gun activists, intent on spreading propaganda...
